TA!!!!

YEAH!!! We finally received our travel authorization this week!  It looks like we will be leaving at the tail end of February and home about 10-12 days later.  That means that we will be able to celebrate Kai's 3rd birthday here at home!  You cannot even imagine how much that warms this mama's heart.
Now we just have to work out the details of the older boys, the dog, Jay's last semester of school....so much to do in the next month and we can't wait!
In the meantime, we continue to pray for an easy transition for all of us.  Sometimes, I am overwhelmed with all of the emotions that we are about to go through.  For Kai, he will leave the only life he has ever known, and walk away with people who don't look like him, don't speak the same language, or even eat the same foods.  For our other boys, they will have to make room in their hearts, routines, and bedrooms for a toddler!  Jay will now have to learn to teach school with another little person who will want his attention but not yet ready for preschool...but we are ready.  We have been waiting and praying for this for nearly 2 years!!!
Stand by for more information on travel plans...we hope to have our consulate appointment confirmed on Tuesday...after that, we can schedule our flights!

We're coming little buddy!
